A word on Journaling

NextMODULE 1

"Journaling is a practice that teaches us better than any other, the elusive art of solitude – to be present in our own selves, bear witness to our experience, and fully inhabit our inner lives."
~ Anaïs Nin ~

JOURNALING OUTLINE

Welcome to Your Remarkable Life Coaching.

The Remarkable Life Coaching Program is set up for you to work at your own pace, and in your own space.

A vital element of the program is the practice of journaling – recording everything and anything on a page, in a book, using the old fashioned hand writing method.

You’re going to have a conversation with purpose; a conversation with yourself.

The blank page can be your best friend and a way to think and plan or share your thoughts, dreams, pain and joy. You can write, draw and stick things on the pages.

Journal writing is cathartic and forgiving. No one needs to see the words, and putting them on paper does something for the thought, it gives it a voice, a presence that just ‘thinking about stuff’ lacks.

The Remarkable Life Program is about you, your thoughts, feelings, actions, and beliefs, exploring them without judgement from anyone else.

"A diary builds a bridge between our present selves and our future ones, which are notoriously cacophonous in their convictions."
~ Virginia Woolf ~

It’s time to look at your present self, and build that bridge to your remarkable, notoriously cacophonous future self.

So get writing.
